abstract="The aim was to examine the effects of describing alcohol-related aggression incidents on alcohol-aggression outcome expectancies. Male students (N = 122) were allocated to Aggression, Relaxation or Control conditions. Those in the Aggression condition recalled experiences of alcohol-related aggression; those in the Relaxation condition recalled experiences of alcohol-related relaxation; and those in the Control condition recalled neutral events. An alcohol-aggression (AA) outcome expectancy measure showed that recalling alcohol-related aggression led to a significant increase in AA immediately after the intervention, which fell to pre-intervention levels after two weeks. The risk of aggression or violence may be temporarily elevated by talking about AA experiences.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
